Hi Simon..
I'm not sure what's going down with the first cfg you posted. Look again at this line and you'll see what I mean..
[General]
performance=Length: 82 feet\nWing span: 115ft\nWeight: max, 54,983lbs\nPower: Bristol Centaurus\nDetails: 34\/seater freight combi\n
editable=1
category=airplane
Length 82ft?
Wingspan 115ft??
Max weight 54,983lbs???
Power Bristol Centaurus????
Details: 34seather freight combi?????
It goes without saying that none of the above equates to the Rapide
Below is the correct cfg for the v2 model..
